Thank you CNN for pointing out that everyone opposed to this regime has normal, pro-social links to the organizations that make up a liveable society where you can do normal shit.

The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training. https://cnn.it/49yoNEa

So if MAGA is correct and X is under massive attack from Ukraine. Then there's only one course of action. Musk must immediately cede half of X's assets to Ukraine. And apologize for allowing themselves to be attacked.

Men just need to be more assertive during salary negotiations. It’s not women’s fault if men don’t push for higher pay or demand promotions.
So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.
Young women are now consistently earning more than their male counterparts for the first time, according to a report that warns of a social “crisis” gripping young men

Over at @uncannymagazine.bsky.social, I have an essay about the aesthetics of spectacle, relating to the Dune films of 1984 and the 2020s: How spectacle in each film was treated and why, and what makes the look and feel between the eras so very different.

Midsommar is not a "good for her" story, it's a cautionary tale about how cults prey on vulnerable people. The real lesson is that no one can manipulate you by offering what was always already yours. You can set fire to YOUR OWN boyfriend. You always could.
